PACIFIC BEACH ELEMENTARY

1152 Garnet Ave. Live music by PB’s own SLK band! All proceeds go directly to Pacific Beach Middle School and Mission Bay High School. 21 and over.

• Keep the drive alive! Make a contribution to your child’s school and his/her education. With the recent government cutbacks, parent support is more important than ever. If every family donated $5, we could raise a lot of money. This money can be used for needed educational supplies for the classrooms. All donations are tax deductible. Contribution envelopes were included in your child’s packet that went home. Mail back to the school at your earliest convenience and/or make a contribution at www.fopbss.org (look under the “Make a Difference” link).

• Thank you to Don Brown and the players in the “Links for Learning Golf Tournament.” The event raised $6,730 for the four elementary schools in Pacific Beach. Each school will receive $1,682.50.
